hey,
Yeah I watched conference. We watched most of it at the church. Sunday morning at a members.  The whole age change thing is crazy. Trev will be able to leave as soon as he graduates! (I assume he's graduating) After every conference our members do a potluck thing and bring tons of food to the church. It was like 85 yesterday so we ate outside. The white wards figured that was a good idea so they started doing it. But they were way over on the other side of the parking lot, like they didn't want to mix with the tongans. All the missionaries were over with them except for us. I tried to get some of them to come join us, but they're scared of Tongan food. (Chuck made me laugh with the crab looking at him, you wouldn't believe all the things we eat that still have eyes on them) Our investigator came to the sunday sessions. We had to push her date back to the 20th. She sneaked a cigarette this week. But, it's ok. we're not going to baptize her if shes not ready. She felt super guilty about smoking so I think that's a good sign.
   So the frost saved your tomatoes from the deer this year?
Hey don't cry. Football might not be over for me or Trev. I love the sport too much just to forget about it.
Find joy in the journey.
I love you -Elder Williams

Hey, this week was a little more exciting than the last. Our Investigator is possibly still on for the fifth. She still hasn't stopped smoking. We have a lesson with her Tuesday, and we'll see how committed she is to this.
Christensen went home on Wednesday. Remember he hurt his shoulder? He went home for surgery. He only had till December to finish and Pres made him go home now. I always told him he wasn't allowed to go home before me. Oh well.
We met a family that signed up for dinner that we didn't know existed. Which is weird because I've gone through the ward list tons of times and they're not on it. But They're super less-active and we had a nice chat and I think we'll be going over there a lot more often.
You should get Grandma some M&Ms and Tell her they're magic happy pills. Reminds me of one of my coaches who said that when he and his buddies were working out, they gave one of his friends tylonal and told him it was steroids. He started lifting a bunch more than he did normally and said, "I can feel it working!" You gotta love the placebo effect.
 Teachers miss me? hmm.. odd Tell them I got into a horrible tracting accident. I wont be coming home for quite some time. Yeah. real vague like that.
Nothing specific in the package. Just the usual awesomeness.
WORK HARD!! YEAH! WHO ARE WE?!! TOOLS IN THE HANDS OF GOD!!! YEAH!
WITH LOVE!!!! -Elder Williams

Monday, September 17, 2012

Hi. Everyone we tried to see wasn't home. Everyone! We taught one lesson this week. But yeah, she's still on track for getting baptized. She stopped smoking and she's getting married this week. Hopefully.
 It's still super hot here. it got up to 106 this week.
Love You too. -Elder Williams

Thursday, September 13, 2012

hey.
Its still hot here. high 90's. The weather dude apparently keeps saying it's going to cool down. Never does. And almost none of our members have air conditioning.
Thanks for the package. The Laser guns are super annoying. Every now and then my comp shoots me and laughs for 10 minutes.
Our Investigator is getting baptized on Oct 5. IF everything goes the way it should. Right now it's looking good.
So... we ran into a guy who lives next door to one of our members. He said he wanted to know more about Christ. WE got super excited because nobody ever says yes to our door approaches. But He's mexican so we handed him over to our Zls to teach. But I guess he's doing well.
I love you. I'm tired. -Elder Williams

Tuesday, September 4, 2012

Hey,
 So... Garrett called me right after he left the house. I was super jealous. He says he loves you. He mentioned that you invited him for dinner. You should have him and Wilcox over. Between newsome's truck and Wilcox playing for BYU, Trevor would worship the pair. I love the both of um and they helped me a lot over here.
Everything is looking good with our Investigator. Her Baptism date is set for October 5th. If she keeps doing what shes doing, then she'll be fine.
There are rumors floating around that there might be some more families for us to teach. We'll see what happens this week.
The ward is getting more and more excited. One guy handed out 3 BOMs this week.
So...... I'm trunky. 50 days left today. As my companion pointed out, "Dude that's like half of a hundred!" Yep. that's my comp.
This week should be super busy for us. Hopefully. I love you. Thank you. That is all. -Elder Williams

Tuesday, August 28, 2012

Salutations Mother,
How ist thou doing? For Behold I Elder Williams having seen much tribulation in the course of my mission, do type this account. And Behold, I type it with mine own fingers. For I know that which I type to be truth. And It came to pass that in the 26th month of the reign of President Godwin over the people of the California San Bernardino Mission, that I, Elder Williams, having reached the 22nd month in my tenure as a name tag adorned teacher of the word, Saw that there began to be much excitement among the people of the Ontario Tongan ward on the subject of missionary work, Yea, among the exceedingly young and among the exceedingly old.
All right. It's kinda tiring to write like that. So... one of our gators moved to Utah. So... Minus 1. Our week was alright. Little here and little there. We've made some progress with one of our gators. She said she wants to be baptized. We'll see how serious she is tomorrow.
Thanks for the letter from chuck. I'll write him today.
So... You should be getting a bike in the mail. It's Newsome's and he's in Provo for BYU. He should be calling you soon.
Tell Ethan I'll be there soon and I miss him. Thanks for the package.
I love you. A Boatload. A large boat. Like maybe a Yacht or a Cruise ship. -Elder Williams

Monday, August 20, 2012

Hey. This week was pretty good. We spoke in Sacrament and tried to get the ward excited about missionary work.
We started teaching someone last monday. She's married to a member and they just moved from Utah. She says that she's been through the missionary thing a few times. We're hoping that we can bring something more to the table. We meet with her again tonight. Last week we challenged the young men to hand out Boms. One of them did and gave it to a preacher's daughter from another church. She seems really interested so we gave the guy our number to give to her. Hopefully she's interested.
Is Trevor playing football?
I got my package after I talked to you about it. Sometimes the mail guy throws stuff up on our balcony.
I hit my 22 month mark today.
The work is slowly picking up. Which is good because it gets my mind off the trunkyness.
I love you. Period. yup. -Elder Williams

Monday, August 13, 2012

From Aug 6th-
Soo...... Yeah.
This week has been pretty slow because It's week one of the transfer and I had to show Tuilagi around and stuff.
It's pretty funny because when members see him they think he's tongan so they try to speak to him and he has no idea what they're saying. Then I start speaking tongan and they freak out.
I don't think starburst will melt.. Depends on how hot it gets i guess.
This week we're attacking the work with a new look. We're starting to ask tongan members in the White wards for referrals. So We've been calling other missionaries in the zone to find out who their tongan members are. We hope something will happen from it.
Kyle wrote me. He's meeting all kinds of cool people from everywhere because of the olympics.
I love you. Thanks for missing me. Don't do it too much. -Elder Williams
Hey,
Hi to everybody.
We had an alright week. It's super hot. It's been 106 and 104 most of the week. Which has been alright because that's when we catch our members at home. They all do construction so when it's super hot they quit early. We got into a lot more houses this week than last week.
 Had a pretty cool thing happen. One of our members took us to denny's and on our way out a couple stopped us and asked if we were the mormons, We smiled, said yes and the guy started to ask us some tough questions. He's a marine and he had to do some pretty nasty stuff. He was wondering if God is going to judge him a murderer. We had a nice discussion, and by the end of it, He's crying and his wife asked us for a card. It's things like that that remind you what you're doing out here.
I finally felt an earthquake! I was reading in my bed about 1030, and it felt like somebody grabbed the apartment and shook it for a second. Tuilagi freaked out and was like, "Dude, We need to go outside!" By then, it was over and we just went to bed.
I got the shirt package on Thursday and the letter on Friday. I would say that's a lot faster than the other way. The Whiteness of the shirt is freaking me out. It pretty much glows in my closet.
So... In letters I keep getting assurances that nobody touches my room... But I feel like you're just trying to cover something up..... a rodent perhaps?
That's it for today, Tune in next week for another exciting installment in The Elder Williams files. Love you. -Elder Williams

Monday, July 23, 2012


Dang everybody's getting their mission calls.
Personally, I think the MTC was a prison. I wasn't a huge fan of my comp, I got sick of roleplaying after the first day. We had 2 teachers and they sent us mixed messages. "You're too prideful, this district needs to be humbled!" and, "You guys are the greatest district ever!" Our "Residence" (They hate it when you call it a dorm) was on the bloody top floor and there was 43 steps between our tired butts and bed. Not to mention, That's where I lost my humor for a while. Try to joke and everybody just stares at you. Stansfield was the only one to laugh. We've been best friends ever since. The very best part about the MTC, it ends. It's a very temporary bad memory. Once you get out into the field, it all doesn't matter. As far as her language, Everyone who goes through for another language says that the MTC didn't help. They didn't start really learning until they got out.
        Yeah Bro Terrill is way cool. I'm glad he made it. He got stuck in Vegas traffic. I hope you can get those pants. They're for a suit.
Got the Squirt guns. Thanks. Tell sarah very funny.
Stilll no work. We set appointments with active members to try to get refferals, most of them cancel on us.
I love you tons. -Elder Williams

Monday, July 16, 2012

It rained here for like an hour. You can't tell.
Thanks for the money. The Xbox I bought really comes in handy. KIDDING! calm down.
I will be getting the pants to you hopefully this weekend. And I would love those other shirts. Thank you.
Say hi back to all the well wishers. And I haven't got anything from Gma W yet. But I did get 3 letters and a package from you! Thanks.
Susan's good. It's crazy she's moving to Alaska. (I plan on visiting her.)
We actually started to have appointments. Threy're all active members, but you have to start somewhere. One sister just came back from her mission to salt lake. I almost laughed out loud when she said things like, "We were so devistated that we didn't have a baptism that week!" and, "We both hadn't baptized a whole family in a while, so we went to look for one."
  I'm sorry! we actually have to work for those!  They take time and effort!  we don't have lines at the font!

Anywho, love you tons. I have 99 days left. yey. -Elder Williams

Monday, July 9, 2012

Hey. So... Which calendar are you using? Don't expect me to come home 5 days early. I have 113 left.....
That's so awesome about Chuck. I'm so excited for him. I just hope he comes and sees me before he leaves.
Sounds like the air there is just like the air here!
Oh yeah, my birthday's soon. huh. Cool. Nothing specific. Money's fine.
Newsome came back and took us out to dinner. I really missed seeing that guy and it made me really trunky to see how happy he was to be living real life.
This last week, we were at a members house when his Rottweiler got bit by a rattlesnake. Her face swelled up super big. I found the snake and killed it. It was just a baby. The dog is ok. He gave her a benadryl and called it good.
I love you. Not much going on. Sorry
Sorry. Things just arnt good right now.  Maybe next week will be better.
I still love you. -Elder Williams

Monday, June 25, 2012

Dang. Bunch of bawling this week huh?
I got transferred to Ontario. Not Canada. I'm in the Tongan ward down here. We cover all of Ontario, Chino, Montclair, Chino Hills, Pomona, and some other little towns. I'm still with Christensen. Pres just picked us up and moved us.  I'm really glad to still be in a tongan ward. But I'm still used to the one in the desert. It still feels weird. Yesterday the ward didn't really seem that welcoming.  There wern't any missionaries here for awhile before we got here. It kinda stinks where we live. We have this tiny apartment and one shower and we have roommates. The Mexicans around us party till 3 in the morning, Dogs wont shut up, the gunshots and fireworks are sometimes hard to tell apart, and to top it all off, we live about 2 miles from the airport. Planes fly right over our house. Trunky!
I'm glad you helped the poor girls out. You're good at that.
Tell trev to take it easy.
We dont have any work. We're starting from scratch.
I love you. Always and forever. -Elder Williams
So... We're both getting transferred. Yeah. it blows.  We have tons of work right now. Like baptisms waiting to happen kind of work.  I have no idea where I'm going. I hope I'm still in a tongan ward. Otherwise I might just go through the motions for the last few months. I hate to leave this ward. This is my family. In every area you always have a ward mom. Someone who just takes care of you. Here, this whole ward is my family. Everyone is my brother and sister and mom and dad. (Don't worry, you're not replaced) We get taken care of. It makes the work easier and also makes it easier to serve a mission. Just because its hard doesn't mean the members have to make it harder you know?
            I got letters back from Edie and The bowens on the same day. It was pretty cool. They were both encouraging. I started crying. I love how they're staying postive through all the crap they've got going on. I love them lots and can't wait to see them.
I'm going to write amber some encouraging stuff. Thanks for the Address.
I wish I could tell you awesome things about the work, but this week has been slow and well, I'm leaving.
Wish Trevor luck, tell sarah not to get sunburned,("They have this really neat stuff called sunscreen"-Mom), Tell Dad not to wreck the house with his partying, and Tell you that I love you all and I'm ready to see you. This time here in SoCal is swiftly coming to a close. I'll try not to get trunked out. -Elder Williams

Wednesday, June 13, 2012

So.... We had a pretty good week I guess.  We taught a lot and had a really good lesson on Saturday.
I Was super tired during church yesterday. I just about fell asleep a few times.
We were suppossed to teach a lot yesterday. But all the people we wanted to, didn't show up.
Newsome has been texting me from time to time. My pants that ripped are my suit pants so I might send them to you.
I love you. -Elder Williams

Sunday, June 10, 2012

Howdy back. Bar-dog's home. Wow. It kinda seems like he left after me. Weird. Tell him hi and I love him.
Tell Amber good luck. And not to have too much fun in Italy. Can I have her MTC address? Dearelder/sister!
I don't think I need anything. Expect my pants are ripping again. those same ones. Pathetic. But, using the amazing source of power we mere mortals call duct tape, I have discovered a temporary solution! mwahaha.

This has been one of those weeks. My comp has been on and off sick, food poisoning and frequent headaches "because it's summer". Plus we couldn't get a hold of anyone we wanted to see. Bummer. But! Church! We had 2 nonmembers tell us they wanted to learn! huzzah! So... It'll be good.
Newsome called me saturday to tell me he's going home. He was supposed to go home in 2 weeks anyway. But his Grandma passed away and pres let him go home. So I got to see him before he left. I miss that kid already.
Soo.... I love you? A lot? A boatload? And kudos to my family for the whole 5k thing! Fat be gone!
oku ou ilo'i mo'oni sisu kalaisi ae emau huhu'i mo Eiki. Ofa atu he'eku Famili. -Eleta Viliami
Hi.
So.. We had a Baptism on Saturday. It was awesome. There were so many people there, we had to stand in the hall. Everything went smooth, Bishop baptized him, and Confirmed him on sunday. Chirstensen was sick yesterday so we didn't get to see it.
   Man, Car crashes. Tell Grandpa I love him. and...... yeah
Never heard about the eclipse. Nobody tells us anything.
I'm working on those letters. Probably have them done today. maybe.
Now that we baptized all our gators, We have a lot more time for the ward, we'll be helping out with lessactives a lot.
Bishops daughter passed away right after the baptism and tongan funerals last a week, so we'll be pretty busy helping out with that.
I love you. I enjoyed talking to you on mother's day. Really. I did.
-Elder Williams

Tuesday, May 8, 2012

So... Everything is peachy.
We had a baptism on Saturday. Saia Kava took the plunge! We weren't sure if he was going to make it until Thursday. He still hadn't got an answer to his prayers. So we promised him that if he prayed with faith, then he would get it. That night he had a dream that he got Baptized while wearing a white robe. So he took that as his answer and got dunked on the 5th. It was super spiritual and he looked like the happiest guy in the world. Un-fortunetly, we were going to confirm him the next day, but his father-in-law had a stroke that night and he couldn't make it to church. so... Next week!
      We have one other guy who is progressing. His name is Tainela. We call him Nela. He is scheduled for baptism for the 19th. It will probably happen.
  Peck is gone. They just picked him up. I'm getting a new comp tomorrow. I don't know who. I'll let you know stat. "What does that even mean?" "I don't know!"
Wow. Poor Grandma. I love how she's more mad about the inconvience than the actual hip popping out. That's our family. =)
          I'll send Sis Swan and Ed a letter. Thanks for letting me know.
I do like how you are appreciating my childhood. I did too. I am going to skype. One of our members has an iPad. So I'll use that. I don't know when. I'll try to chat and let you know.
Ofa Lahi Atu! -Elder Williams

Tuesday, April 24, 2012

Your week has been hot? at 85? its been in the 90's here. Our car is an oven. It's not like utah where you can leave your windows rolled down a little.
Man. I miss Granger. Now I'm all trunky. I haven't slept in a tent in over 18 months. I'm going throught withdrawels. So I slept on the floor the other night. Just not the same.
I can't remember what I wish I had. I remember that I wish I hadn't of bought half the things I did. The MTC bookstore is way cheaper. The Journal has been good. I have two of them. One is for missionaries, members and gators to sign when I find out I'm getting transfered. The other is my write in everynight journal. (I'm trying, it's hard to remember to.)
I'm going through money faster than I would like. I'm going to budget hardcore this next month.
I'm assuming brian is good. I've written him like 5 times. He hasn't written me back.
Our dates are still good. Betty says she's doing better. She's going to finish up some treatments soon.
Ethan comes home in July. He left the same day andy did. Peck goes home on the 8th. If you can find the soda, great.
I love you so very much. Oku ke ma'u ofa kotoa pe. -Elder Williams

Sunday, April 15, 2012

I got my package! Thank you. My roommates were happy to assist me in eating the jellybeans
I'm glad the contacts are coming. I'm using my old ones and I cant see.
Right now I'm at a members house helping with their new computer. I havent built a computer in a long time and I was more than happy to help.
Who else did you send a package to?
Go to the temple as often as you can!!
Heather's getting married? crazysauce.
I hope brian keeps in touch with me. I plan on seeing him as soon as he gets out here.
peck goes home in 30 days....
We set a baptismal date with our gator. It's set for the 28th. He just has to quit smoking. I'm super excited!
We had dinner yesterday with the people who always feed us on sunday. Our ward mission leader. They always cook legit tongan food.
I love you so very much. -Elder Williams

Tuesday, April 3, 2012

Yeah, conference was good. Lot of forgiveness and family talk.
His name is oni. (Oh-nee) I've known him for quite a while and have
been trying to help him. I don't what he said to you but it must have
been well worth the 5 bucks.
(Just kidding) I'm glad you got the pictures. I tried to have more
pictures of me. So... the Quail egg. funny story. we went to sushi and on the all you
can eat menu they have "Quail egg" And assorted other things. We took
turns and picked stuff for the others to eat. I got stuck with "Monkey
balls" Sevison got the egg. The balls ended up being stuffed mushrooms
that just looked like testicles and the quail egg came in a weird
sauce. We asked the guy what it was and he said something about onion.
Stansfield and I had a pretty good idea it was sake. (Japenese booze)
But didn't say anything and sat back to watch the show. He chugged it
and said that it wasnt bad except it burned. I havent laughed that
hard for a long time. The look on his face when we told him it was
probably sake was priceless.
I haven't got my package yet. As far as the huge
dinners go, I think I'll just go buliemic.
We found a juicer in our apt and the first thing we thought was, What
can we juice?! And winco happened to have a 25 pound bag of carrots on
sale for 5 bucks.
Love you tons. and kilotons. -Elder Williams

Tuesday, March 27, 2012

We are finally making progress
with helping one guy go on a mission. He's finally getting his papers
in! I've known this guy for over a year. He's been trying to go on a
mission for 5. Finally. Tell Trevor good luck. Please give Brian my
email and tell him to email me as soon as he can. With any questions
he might have. There's a guy out
here who is gonna give me a pure bred doberman puppy. Whoo!
        I'm praying for all of you. you have no idea. I'll keep it up.
Check out this song, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atBg9zLI2bA
 Peck is staying with me until
May when he goes home. hi back. Hi to everybody.
I love you too. I'm going to work extra hard and bring souls to
Christ. Even if it kills me.
I love you more! -Elder Williams

Wednesday, March 21, 2012

Ok, so week was kinda crazy. I had to go down to Rancho for 2 days for
a leadership meeting. Then on Saturday I
got to go to LA. It was pretty awesome. We got to go to the temple for
one of my converts. Betty, the lady that called you last year on your
birthday. She has Stage 4 cancer all over right now. But it was super
awesome to see her go through. The best part was, she didn't know I
was there until the Celestial room. The look on her face was
priceless. She later said, "If that's what heaven feels like, then I
can't wait to go." That made everything I've done on my mission worth
it. "If you should be the means of bringing but one soul unto me, how
great shall be your joy in the kingdom of my Father." That's true, one
hundred percent.
 I have gained a few(cough) pounds in this ward and I need to be better.
 Transfers are next week though, we'll see what happens.
Love you too -Elder Williams

Monday, March 12, 2012

I'm glad that the temple went well.  Tell Chuck to email me. He won't.  Are you reading this Chuck?! Email me gosh dangit! Burrows moving?
We had a pretty good week. We stopped a family from killing each other
(Litterally) We Got to do service this saturday out in Lucerne Valley.
It was farm stuff. Digging holes and cleaning out pig and chicken
pens, changing water. I realized it's been a stinking long time since
I've done that stuff. When I picked up a shovel and started digging I
knew I was going to hurt the next day. Stansfield and I worked the
whole day while our companions watched. Thank you Mom and Dad for
teaching me how to work. I learned it even if I didn't always do it.
Out here you can't make excuses and get out of the work. It's what I'm
solely here for. For 2 years. So now I'm sunburned and my stupid
collar rubs against it and its just stinking annoying. But When I'm
teaching, I can't feel it. My attention is completley devoted to the
Investigator and to the spirit. We had 5 nonmembers at Sacrament! Whoo! That's a record. Our members
are getting excited about missionary work.
I hope you are too! Send my love to all the little people! And the big
ones too I guess. =)            Love you always and forever. -Elder
WIlliams

Tuesday, February 21, 2012

This week has actually been pretty good. We had a few lessons with
people and they are all progressing and keep thier commitments. One
guy needs to get married, the one who smoked doesnt anymore. Now it's
just drinking with him. And we just started teaching another and we
want to commit her to baptism on wednesday. we'll see what happens.
Way to go TREV!! WHAT WHAT! Malie! Watch out for da ninja turtle!
Thanks for the package. The monkey is hanging over my bed. I got it Saturday.
We got snow one day. I think it was thursday. It snowed almost all
day. and turned to water as soon as it hit the ground. You could see
some stick on the mts. And it was gone the next day.
The best help anyone can ever get is from God. Go deeper into the
scriptures, pray harder, go to the temple, Try to be more Christlike
in every way, and Read Conference talks. It's not going to be easy. It
never is. But it always works. With God on our side, How can we fail?
My tongan is a good example. there is no way I good figure out what
these people are mumbling about without Gods help. and Yesterday, I
actually understood what was going on in church!
I love you so very much and I wish I could do this and be home with
you guys. but hey, this rocks too. -Elder Williams
PS I'm 16 months today! 8 to go!

Sunday, February 19, 2012

 this week kinda blew chunks. All
of our appts cancelled. Our investigator is probably Smoking. We don't
really know because he is in Vegas.
It's getting cold. it got below 60. No snow.
Yeah, I'm in the process of writing him back.
We got transfer calls. We're both staying. meh.
Tell Trev way to go. I'm rootin for him.
I miss the snow. But not shoveling it.
 My tongan is coming along nicely. I think. The
members might be patronizing me. "Oh Elder! Your tongan so good!"
Idk.
Well..... Love you! So much. Ofa lahi atu! -Elder Williams

Wednesday, February 1, 2012

So.... Nothing is happening yet. I wish I had stuff to tell you. I
really do. If I did, I would tell you. this week, we did some service.
I set up a Trampoline. And the kids acted like it was a torture
chamber and wouldn't go in. And we ate a lot this week. I feel fat.
 I'm planning on UVU. We'll see what happens.
I am doing well. I love you too. -Elder Williams

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

Hey. How's it goin? How is Trevs ankle?
Snow! finally! We haven't even got rain. Just wind.

Sweet! I've been thinking about hunting. One of my Zl's Bowler, is
from St George and he loves to hunt. We've been talking about it. He's
going to get the North American Super Slam. It's a lot of animals.
Nothing much has happened this week except for some of our less active
youth getting the Melchizidek priesthood and preparing for missions.
Our ward is still working with other people before they hand them over.
I love you too. I wish I had more to tell.
-Elder Williams

Thursday, January 12, 2012

Call him. It'll be funny. "Well Sister Williams, I'm sure he loves you
and is not doing it on purpose. I'm fairly sure he is not dead in a
ditch. But if you like, I can check." I'm ok. unless this isn't really
your son.... It's a imposter robot from the future! Ok. it's me. We
had pday on Wednesday this week. we went to the temple today.
I"M BACK IN A TONGAN WARD!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOO! Do a little dance,
somethin somethin somethin. I'm in the Desert. W00t. In a tongan ward.
w00t. With a car w00t. We cover the entire hi desert, which means I
can pretty much go anywhere. W00T! But, I'm still District Leader. wah
wah wah.  My comp is Elder Peck from Salt Lake. No relatives in
Washington.
Hey, snow! finally. It's still 70+ here.

Snow? Why my dear, it's 75 here.
This week was pretty good. We're helping a 75 year old quit smoking. yeah. fun. All of our investigators are progressing nicely and most of them should get baptized in this or next month. In other news, I'm getting transferred.
I'm not happy. They call this being "Six week shafted" As soon as I get close with a bunch of people, they kick me out. The only reason they usually do that is because some got in trouble (Which I didn't) or because you are really needed somewhere. So..... Tongan ward? Cross your fingers! Being DL isn't that bad. It's just more meetings and caring about missionaries.
Skype was awesome. I do look awesome. And I am hilarious. Why didn't you say anything about my humility?
Yes
I think I'll still pay freshikinet a visit when I get back. Tell him thanks.
New years... It should be something I can accomplish... I think I'll come home this year. YEAH. Sounds good.
I'll let you know what happens. Hopefully. LOVEYOUHOLYCRAP! -Elder Williams
